"Yo, isn't this the little beauty I saw that day?" A figure blocked Xiao Man's path, followed by several guards. Xiao Man stared at the person in front of her for a long time. Who was this?
"Little beauty, do you remember me?" Nangong Fei leaned in with joy, his face beaming. "Little Lord, I am the young lord of the Yan King's manor."
Xiao Man finally remembered: "I remember now. You're the one Mo Han beat until you cried and begged for mercy that day."
Nangong Fei's face darkened: "Bitch, who are you calling cried and begged for mercy?"
Xiao Man's expression remained unchanged: "Isn't it you? You've been around in the capital for quite some time, don't you know there are three overlords in the capital that you absolutely cannot afford to offend?"
"Three overlords, what are those?"
"These three overlords are Prince Qi, Nangong Yi, the son of the Duke of Xue, Xue Kun, and the eldest daughter of the General's manor," Xiao Man said with a smile. "Offend these three, and even a prince will suffer, let alone a little lord like you."
"Nonsense, from now on, there will only be one overlord in the capital, and that is this Lord!" Nangong Fei reached out his hand to Xiao Man, "Beauty, come back to my manor with me."
Dugu Mingyu grabbed Nangong Fei's hand: "Presumptuous!"
Nangong Fei cried out in pain. Seeing someone else obstructing his interaction with the beauty, he became furious. "Come on, attack him!"
The guards behind Nangong Fei heard him and rushed forward. Xiao Man didn't take the guards of the Yan King's manor seriously. She kicked out, but her attack was dodged. Only then did she realize that the guards Nangong Fei brought with him were not ordinary guards!
"Mingyu, be careful, Nangong Fei brought his hidden guards."
Dugu Mingyu grabbed Nangong Fei's arm, pulled, and twisted. A deafening scream was heard, and Nangong Fei's arm was directly dislocated by Dugu Mingyu!
"Presumptuous, how dare you injure the Lord!"
Xiao Man stood in front of Dugu Mingyu, her smile chilling: "It is you who are presumptuous. I never knew that the imperial city belonged to the Yan King's family. His illegitimate son dares to act atrociously under the Emperor's nose, harassing the daughter of a high official and beating a general who fought and bled for the court!"
"What general who fought and bled for the court? He's just a stray dog who defected and betrayed the country!" Nangong Fei's face turned ashen with anger. He knew Xiao Man's identity and deliberately sought her out. Having suffered losses last time, he knew that the only person accompanying her this time was a traitor from Yun Qi. That's why he brought his men to abduct Xiao Man.
"Who are you calling a stray dog?" Xiao Man snapped her fingers, and Dugu Luo descended from the sky, blocking Nangong Fei's guards. Xiao Man looked at Nangong Fei with cold eyes and asked softly.
"Am I wrong? The Dugu family was wiped out by Yun Qi. He is a stray dog. Tie him up and hand him over to Yun Qi, and maybe we can get some silver... Ah..."
Xiao Man fiercely kicked out, hitting Nangong Fei below his abdomen. Nangong Fei was kicked flying and knelt on the ground, his face pale. Moments later, he collapsed, breaking out in a cold sweat. The pain was so intense that he doubted life itself. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted!
"Little Lord!" The guards panicked when they saw Nangong Fei lying on the ground motionless. They rushed towards Nangong Fei desperately.
Xiao Man motioned for Dugu Luo to ignore them. The guards rushed forward and helped Nangong Fei up, only to see that Nangong Fei had fainted. The brocade robe that represented his status was stained with blood. Xiao Man had actually crippled Nangong Fei with one kick!
Nangong Cheng rushed over, intending to mediate, but found that the situation had escalated beyond his expectations. For a moment, he forgot to speak.
The guards of the Yan King's manor glared fiercely at Xiao Man and quickly carried Nangong Fei away. Xiao Man snorted, turned around, and saw Nangong Cheng looking at her with a strange expression.
"Man'er, long time no see."
"Who is it? It turns out to be His Highness, Prince Han." Xiao Man grabbed Dugu Mingyu and was about to leave.
Nangong Cheng blocked Xiao Man: "That is the sole son of the Yan King. Are you not afraid of the Yan King seeking trouble with you for striking him so heavily?" Su Dan Novel Network
"The Yan King indulges his son in committing crimes, bullying the common people, abducting women, and doing all sorts of evil. Isn't he afraid of others seeking trouble with him?" Xiao Man said softly. "Your Highness Prince Han, please let me pass."
"Man'er, you injured your eyes that day at Prince Han's manor. I was very worried. I visited many times, but I was blocked by the Great General at the door. The Great General refused to let me see you. You don't know how much my heart ached like being pricked by needles."
"My father's intention is my intention. Please move aside, you are blocking my way!" Xiao Man said coldly.
"Man'er, the Yan King is, after all, the Emperor's brother. You injured his only son, and you must give an explanation. Don't act rashly. I will accompany you to the Yan King's manor to apologize, so that the Yan King won't cause trouble for your father. What do you say?"
"His son harassed me, and I have to go apologize to his son? Is there any law in this world?" Xiao Man said coldly. "Nangong Cheng, you, as a prince, a king, turn a blind eye to Nangong Fei's atrocities and force me to bow to evil forces. Are you also one of those villains who bully the weak and domineer?"
"Man'er, what you're saying truly wounds my heart. I am doing this for your own good..."
"A fine 'for your own good.' Your consort is currently missing, and you're not searching for her. Instead, you're being overly attentive to other women. Isn't that too heartless and unrighteous?"
Nangong Cheng's face changed: "I have already given Wen Moyu a letter of divorce. She is no longer my consort, nor do I have a consort who is so dissolute and shameless!"
Xiao Man sneered: "Before the Princess of Han became the Princess of Han, she was a lady from a prestigious family, a refined lady. After marrying into the Prince of Han's manor, she became dissolute and shameless. What, is your Prince of Han's manor a brothel?"
"Xiao Man!" Nangong Cheng could no longer maintain his smile. "I have done everything for your own good, and if you don't appreciate it, why must you say such slanderous things about me?"
"Whether it is slander or not, don't you know in your heart?" Xiao Man scoffed. "Why did Wen Moyu marry you as your consort? Your Highness Prince Han, you don't really think Miss Wen is deeply in love with you and would only marry you, do you?"
"Isn't that so?"
"Hmph, you used all sorts of tricks to marry her, and when you were done with her, you used all sorts of tricks to discard her. This humble subject truly admires you immensely!" Xiao Man dodged Nangong Cheng with Dugu Mingyu and left.
Nangong Cheng's face turned ashen. He turned back, looking at their clasped hands, a trace of hatred flashing in his eyes. "He's just a traitor from another country, what's so special about him that you look at him differently?"
"At least he's human!" Xiao Man turned her head and said meaningfully, her words implying that the Prince of Han was not human.
Nangong Cheng had never been insulted like this. Even Wen Moyu dared not speak to him this way, yet Xiao Man did. "Xiao Man, what is going on with Wen Moyu? Shouldn't you know better?"
